«Milkman» is the contemporary fiction novel by Anna Burns, published by Edicions de 1984 in paperback (448 pages, in Catalan).
A young woman reads Ivanhoe while walking through a nameless city that evokes Belfast in the late seventies, in the midst of the Northern Irish conflict. An influential paramilitary, known as the milkman, takes notice of her, and an equivocal rumour spreads through the neighbourhood, accepted even by her own family. The novel explores control, harassment and the silences of an entire community.
Volume 190 of the Mirmanda collection, translated from English by Josefina Caball Guerrero. Winner of the Man Booker 2018, the National Book Critics Circle 2019 and the Orwell Prize 2019.
For readers of literary and contemporary fiction, especially those seeking narratives set during the Northern Irish conflict.
